Hello,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.

I can understand your concern for the toe nail infection by fungus. Toe nail fungal infection or medically known as "Onychomycosis" is a very difficult to treat condition and requires a proper link term treatment for minimum 3 to 6 months.

I humbly request to tell me whether this condition of fungal toe nail infection is given by a dermatologist or a family physician. I also request you to kindly upload few good resolution pictures of the affected nails so that I can guide You best for the most appropriate treatment.

Hope to hear soon from your side.

Brief Answer:
Tablet Terbinafine or itraconazole

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,

Welcome again and thanks for posting the picture.

I can see that the great toe on both right and left foot are affected. Additionally the 2nd toe on left foot is also affected. All these nails are infected till the nail root and complete toes are affected.

If I were your treating dermatologist then I would have suggested take anti-fungal tablets such as Tablet Terbinafine or itraconazole according to medical advice.

I would have started with Terbinafine and given you for 3months course as daily dose. If after 3 months the area got better then would have given 15 days per month course of same tablet for 3 months.

If the area didn’t got better in 3 months course of Terbinafine then I would have suggested to take itraconazole capsule as reserve drug.

The toe nail infection is difficult to treat infection and none of the application (onabet) or graphite treatment is helpful.

I hope these information's will help you. If you have further queries I will be happy to help.

"Wish you good health"
